[Verse 1]
G
My heart drops dead every time that I see her
Run upstairs so I can get the picture clearer
C
Walking past my room
In the early afternoon
G
Long dark hair, in an oversized sweater
C
Know you don't care but I can pretend that you do
In the early afternoon
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Oh, maybe one day suddenly
Bm C
You'll look up and notice me, up there
Cm
But I'm too scared
[Chorus]
G
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
C
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
G
Maybe I'm better alone
[Verse 2]
I woke up in the morning, talked myself up
C
Got the courage then I waited in my room
Right before the afternoon
G Bm/F# Em G/D C
I saw you take the corner, I was opening the door when I saw two
Cm
It wasn't only you
[Chorus]
G
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
C
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
G
Maybe I'm better alone
Just the way that it's always been
I'll be there for myself
C
Guess I have to let you go
I'm better off alone
G
Maybe I'm better alone
[Bridge]
Imagine if it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
C C7
That all this time I've waited for you here
G
Oh, imagine if it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
C C7
That all this time I've waited for you
[Chorus]
G
But maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
C
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
G
Maybe I'm better alone
Bm/F#
Just the way that it's always been
F
I'll be there for myself
C/E G C
Guess I have to let you go
Cm
I'm better off alone
G
Maybe I'm better alone
[Outro]
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
C
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm
Cm
Ooh, ooh
My heart drops dead every time that I see her
Run upstairs so I can get the picture clearer
Walking past my room
In the early afternoon
Long dark hair, in an oversized sweater
Know you don't care but I can pretend that you do
In the early afternoon
Oh, maybe one day suddenly
You'll look up and notice me, up there
But I'm too scared
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
Maybe I'm better alone
I woke up in the morning, talked myself up
Got the courage then I waited in my room
Right before the afternoon
I saw you take the corner, I was opening the door when I saw two
It wasn't only you
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
Maybe I'm better alone
Just the way that it's always been
I'll be there for myself
Guess I have to let you go
I'm better off alone
Maybe I'm better alone
Imagine if it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
That all this time I've waited for you here
Oh, imagine if it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
That all this time I've waited for you
But maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
Maybe I'm better alone
Just the way that it's always been
I'll be there for myself
Guess I have to let you go
I'm better off alone
Maybe I'm better alone
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm
Ooh, ooh
